Pimpri-Chinchwad dengue cases have reached 203 between January and 21 October 2026, with October recording the highest monthly total so far, according to the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s National Vector-Borne Disease Control Programme report. The city recorded 81 dengue cases up to 21 October, compared with 70 in September.
The monthly figures show a sustained rise since the monsoon period. Pimpri-Chinchwad recorded two dengue cases in June, followed by 13 in July, 37 in August, 70 in September and 81 by 21 October. The increase has placed greater emphasis on identifying and eliminating mosquito-breeding sites across residential and public areas.
According to the municipal report, health authorities registered 5,075 records for testing among people suspected of having dengue between January and October. Of these, 203 test reports returned positive. The report does not provide a ward-wise distribution of the dengue cases in the supplied information.
The city also recorded 41 malaria cases during the same period. Municipal health officials tested 382,010 people with suspected fever for malaria, of whom 41 were diagnosed with the disease. There were 20 suspected chikungunya cases, but no positive chikungunya report was recorded. No suspected or positive Zika cases were reported during the period covered by the report.
Dengue and chikungunya are primarily spread by Aedes mosquitoes, while malaria is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. The municipal medical department has advised residents to prevent water from collecting in flower pots, storage tanks, discarded objects, tyres and other containers around homes and neighbourhoods.
Residents have also been asked to keep water containers covered, maintain cleanliness in surrounding areas and seek medical advice and testing if they develop a fever. The rise in cases from June through October means that household-level prevention and municipal action to remove breeding sites remain central to containing transmission.
The latest figures cover cases recorded up to 21 October. The municipal report’s next updates will indicate whether the October increase continues and how effectively preventive measures reduce mosquito-breeding sites across Pimpri-Chinchwad.
